The last HAA Newsletter just went out indicating that the Senate Hearing will also be on Wednesday, April 5, 2017 at 9:00am
Currently, we only have it on good authority that the Senate hearings will take place at this day and time as it is not yet showing on the Calendar.
A bus has been scheduled to take us to Austin and will drop us off at the Capitol steps. It is encouraged that you sign up to go to Austin on the HomeownersAgainstAnnexation.com website….indicate if you are taking the bus or are driving yourself. A headcount from this signup will assist us with the organization of the trip.

This event is extremely important to anyone who favors having the right to vote on the annexation process. This day at the Senate and House hearings will no doubt be an inconvenience but less of one compared to paying years of higher property taxes and having our current rights and services being infringed upon. This will be our chance to speak out (testify) or just be there to register your support. Click here for more information on testifying, registering support.
Let’s Go To Austin and Fight for our Right to Vote on Annexation!
